"Your heart
was lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of
your splendor..."

Ezekiel
28:17

"For Satan himself
transforms himself into an angel of light.

Therefore it is no
great thing if his ministers also transform themselves

into ministers of
righteousness, whose end will be according to their works."

2
Corinthians 11:13-15

Who Lucifer
Was/Is

A Created Being
- A Cherub

"You were the seal of perfection,
full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of God; every
precious stone was your covering: the sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx,
and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your
timbrels and pipes was prepared for you on the day you were created. "You were
the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; you were on the holy mountain
of God; you walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. You were perfect
in your ways from the day you were created, till iniquity was found in you. "By
the abundance of your trading you became filled with violence within, and you
sinned; therefore I cast you as a profane thing out of the mountain of God; and
I destroyed you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the fiery stones. "Your
heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the
sake of your splendor; I cast you to the ground, I laid you before kings, that
they might gaze at you. "You defiled your sanctuaries by the multitude of your
iniquities, by the iniquity of your trading; therefore I brought fire from your
midst; it devoured you, and I turned you to ashes upon the earth in the sight of
all who saw you. All who knew you among the peoples are astonished at you; you
have become a horror, and shall be no more forever."'" Ezekiel 28:12-19

A Created Being
With a Personality
"Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the
LORD, and Satan also came among them. And the LORD said to Satan , "From where
do you come?" So Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and fro on the
earth, and from walking back and forth on it." Then the LORD said to Satan,
"Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a
blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?" So Satan answered
the LORD and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing? Have You not made a hedge
around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You
have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the
land. But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will
surely curse You to Your face!" And the LORD said to Satan , "Behold, all that
he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person." So Satan went
out from the presence of the LORD." Job 1:6-12

"Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before
the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD. And
the LORD said to Satan , "From where do you come?" Satan answered the LORD and
said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on
it." Then the LORD said to Satan , "Have you considered My servant Job, that
there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears
God and shuns evil? And still he holds fast to his integrity, although you
incited Me against him, to destroy him without cause." So Satan answered the
LORD and said, "Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his
life. But stretch out Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he
will surely curse You to Your face!" And the LORD said to Satan , "Behold, he is
in your hand, but spare his life." Job 2:1-6

The Fall Of
Lucifer (Satan)

"How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut
down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! For you have said in your
heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of
God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of
the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the
Most High.' Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the
Pit. "Those who see you will gaze at you, and consider you, saying: 'Is this the
man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms, Who made the world as a
wilderness and destroyed its cities, who did not open the house of his
prisoners?'"
Isaiah 14:12-17

Where Satan's
Throne Is

(Pergamos = Modern day Turkey (And
what a miserable place that is, along with surrounding areas. Not to mention
persecution for Christians and Jews.))

"And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write, 'These things says He who has
the sharp two-edged sword: "I know your works, and where you dwell, where
Satan's throne is. And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even
in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you,
where Satan dwells." Revelation 2:12-14

Where Satan
Frequents

Currently - Heaven and Earth (Until he is cast out of
heaven in
a future event)
"Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the
LORD, and Satan also came among them. And the LORD said to Satan, "From where do
you come?" So Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and fro on the
earth, and from walking back and forth on it." Job 1:6-7

What Satan Does

Blinds People
From The Gospel - Keep People From Being Saved
"But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,
whose minds the god of this age (Satan) has blinded, who do not believe, lest
the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should
shine on them."2 Corinthians 4:3-4

Steals The
Words Of God From Peoples Hearts
"And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear,
Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts."
Mark 4:15

Transforms
Himself Into An Angel Of Light

(False
preachers, teachers, ministers,... wolves in sheep's clothing)
"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into
apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an
angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform
themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their
works."
2 Corinthians 11:13-15

He Oppresses

"God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with
the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who
were oppressed by the devil..." Acts 10:38

Deceives The
Whole World

"So the great dragon was cast out,
that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan , who deceives the whole world;"
Revelation 12:9

Murders And
Lies

"He (Satan) was a murderer from the
beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him.
When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the
father of it." John 8:44-45

He Raises Up
Wicked Sons
"He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, the good
seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one.
The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and
the reapers are the angels." Matthew 13:37-39

Can Exhibit
Power, Signs, And Lying Wonders

"The coming of the lawless one is
according to the working of Satan , with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10
and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish,..." 2 Thessalonians
2:9-10

He Accuses The Saved

"Now salvation, and strength, and the
kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of
our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast
down." Revelation 12:10

Persecuted And
Will Persecute Israel
"Now when the dragon (Satan) saw that he had been cast to the earth, he
persecuted the woman (Israel) who gave birth to the male Child (The Messiah -
Jesus)." Revelation 12:13-14

And.... he does
many more things too. Anything he can do to keep you away from God, from Jesus
Christ, from being saved, he will do. Because he wants you to go to the same
place he's heading - judgment and the lake of fire (hell). He hates everyone
(yes, you reader), even those who want to be on his side, they are headed for
hell too. So he wants to take as many people with him as possible. He is
everyone's enemy.

What Satan Owns

Currently - All The Kingdoms of the World
"Then the devil, taking Him (Jesus) up on a high mountain, showed Him all the
kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, "All this
authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me,
and I give it to whomever I wish. Therefore, if You will worship before me, all
will be Yours."" Luke 4:5-7

Satan's Future

Will Be Cast
Down To Earth
"So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and
Satan , who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels
were cast out with him." Revelation 12:9

Will Be Bound For A 1000 Years
"He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan,
and bound him for a thousand years (The literal 1000 year reign of Christ); and
he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so
that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were
finished." Revelation 20:2-3

Will Be Released

"Now when the thousand years have
expired, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the
nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather
them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea." Revelation
20:7-8

Will Be Cast Into The Lake Of Fire
"The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone
where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and
night forever and ever." Revelation 20:10 (The Lake of Fire was originally
created for the devil and his angels, but it's also a place for all the
unregenerate or unsaved. Matthew 25:41 and Revelation 20:11-15)

Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of
the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw the
daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves
of all whom they chose. And the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man
forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty
years." There were giants on the
earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God (the fallen
angels) came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those
were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. Genesis 6:1-4

In the fourteenth year
Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him came and attacked the
Rephaim (Giants) in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzim (Giants) in Ham, the Emim (Giants) in Shaveh Kiriathaim...

Genesis 14:5-6

But the men who had gone up
with him said, "We are not able to go up against the people, for they are
stronger than we." And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of
the land which they had spied out, saying, "The land through which we have gone
as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw
in it are men of great stature.
There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak
came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own
sight, and so we were in their sight." Numbers 13:31-33

The Emim had dwelt there in times past, a people as great
and numerous and tall as the Anakim.
They were also regarded as giants, like the Anakim, but the Moabites call them
Emim. Deuteronomy 2:10-11

That was also regarded as a
land of giants; giants formerly
dwelt there. But the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
a people as great and numerous and tall as
the Anakim. Deuteronomy 2:20-21

For only Og king of Bashan
remained of the remnant of the giants.
Indeed his bedstead was an iron bedstead. (Is it not in Rabbah of the people of
Ammon?) Nine cubits is its length and four cubits its width, according to the
standard cubit. (Total length: 13.5 feet) Deuteronomy 3:11

The rest of Gilead, and all
Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh. (All the region
of Argob, with all Bashan, was called the land of the giants. Deuteronomy 3:13

The other king was
Og king of Bashan and his
territory, who was of the remnant of the giants,
who dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei, and reigned over Mount Hermon...
Joshua 12:4-5

... all the kingdom of
Og in Bashan, who reigned in
Ashtaroth and Edrei, who remained of the remnant
of the giants... Joshua 13:12

The border went up to the
top of the mountain that lies before the Valley of Hinnom westward, which is at
the end of the Valley of Rephaim (Giants)
northward. Joshua 15:8-9

So Joshua answered them,
"If you are a great people, then go up to the forest country and clear a place
for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and the giants, since the mountains of Ephraim are too confined
for you." Joshua 17:15

Then the border came down
to the end of the mountain that lies before the Valley of the Son of Hinnom,
which is in theValley of the Rephaim (Giants)...
Joshua 18:16

Then
Ishbi-Benob, who was one of the
sons of the giant, the weight of whose bronze spear was three
hundred shekels, who was bearing a new sword, thought he could kill David. 2
Samuel 21:16

Then Sibbechai the
Hushathite killed Saph, who was
one of the sons of the giant. 2
Samuel 21:18-19

Again there was war at Gob
with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite
killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite,
the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. 2 Samuel 21:19

Yet again there was war at
Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who
had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot,
twenty-four in number; and he also was born to the
giant. So when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea,
David's brother, killed him. 2 Samuel 21:20-21

These four were born to the
giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David and by the hand of
his servants. 2 Samuel 21:22

Now it happened afterward
that war broke out at Gezer with the Philistines, at which time Sibbechai the
Hushathite killed Sippai, who was
one of the sons of the giant. 1
Chronicles 20:4

Again there was war with
the Philistines, and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of
Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a
weaver's beam. 1 Chronicles 20:5

(Second recording of this
event)

Yet again there was war at
Gath, where there was a man of great stature, with
twenty-four fingers and toes, six on each hand and six on each foot; and he also
was born to the giant. So when he defied Israel, Jonathan the
son of Shimea, David's brother, killed him. 1 Chronicles 20:6-7

(Second recording of this
event)

These were born to the giant in
Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his
servants. 1 Chronicles 20:8

Giants: Some random info:

- Satan attempts to
contaminate the bloodline of the human race to destroy/ prevent/thwart Gods plan
of redemption.

God reveals that a Messiah
will eventually be born to save mankind, so Satan tries to ruin that plan.

- The main reason for the
flood was to rid the earth of the giants.

- The reason why God
commanded Israel to wipe out every man, women, and child, from certain tribes
was because there was a genetic problem.

- Fallen angels that
fornicated with humans had children that were giants. The spirits of dead giants
are demons. There is no redemption for the fallen angels, Satan, or the giants -
they are damned beings who face judgment and a hopeless eternal future in the
lake of fire. This may be part of the reason Satan, the fallen angels, and their
children - the giants, have such hatred for mankind: Because God provided a hope
for us; an atonement for sin; so that we could be saved from judgment. But He
did not provide that for them. They sinned, and that was it - they now face
judgment. We sinned, and we have a hope - God has paid the price for our sins
through the sacrifice of Jesus - and we can be saved from the coming judgment
and be reunited with God and spend the rest of our eternal lives with Him.

Buffalo Bill

A veryinteresting story:

One such legend, related by Buffalo Bill in his autobiography, centers on a
creation myth. According to Cody, one night a group of Pawnees came into camp
bringing with them a number of large bones, one of which a doctor with Cody's
expedition identified as a human thighbone. The Pawnees maintained that the
bones belonged to an ancient race of men who inhabited the country and were
three times the size of human beings of the day. Any one of these giants could
run down a buffalo and tear off its leg with one hand and then eat it as he
walked. However, these giant men did not believe in the Great Spirit; they were
not intimidated by the thunder and lightning and laughed at it. This angered the
Great Spirit, and he sent a great rainstorm that drove the giants to the hills.
But the water rose and covered the mountaintops as well, and the conceited
giants were drowned. Once the floodwaters receded, the Great Spirit considered
that he had made men too large and powerful, and he would henceforth re-create
them smaller and weaker. The Pawnees maintained that this was Indian history
handed down to them from time out of mind. This explains why men are not like
the giants of old and have to work harder to hunt and to live. Cody adds an
interesting note to this episode. He remarked that since their expedition had no
wagons with them and the thighbone was very large, it had to be left behind.

In the autumn of 1848, Abraham Lincoln campaigned for
Whig presidential candidate Zachary Taylor in Massachusetts. On the way
home to Illinois, he visited Niagara Falls, and found the sight so
impressive that he started writing about it. His
unfinished meditation on the falls probably dates from the end of
September:

It calls up the indefinite past. When Columbus first
sought this continent—when Christ suffered on the cross—when Moses led
Israel through the Red-Sea—nay, even, when Adam first came from the hand
of his Maker—then as now, Niagara was roaring here.
The eyes of that species of extinct
giants, whose bones fill the mounds of America, have
gazed on Niagara, as ours do now. Co[n]temporary with the whole race of
men, and older than the first man, Niagara is strong, and fresh to-day
as ten thousand years ago. The Mammoth and Mastadon—now so long dead,
that fragments of their monstrous bones, alone testify, that they ever
lived, have gazed on Niagara.

Where Demons
Come From

(This is NOT from God's Word, the
Bible. It is an uninspired piece of historical extra-biblical material from the
Book of Enoch. I strongly believe this piece to be accurate in its description
of what happened.)

In a nutshell - Fallen Angels (The
Watchers) had sex with human females. Their offspring were giants. When those
giants died, their spirits continued on, roaming the earth and causing trouble,
and those spirits are called "demons". Read on if you want more detail.

Mount Hermon in Israel
(Northern border with Syria)

1“And it
came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were
born unto them
beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw
and lusted after them,
and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children
of men and beget us
children.' And Semjāzā, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will
not indeed agree to do this
deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.' And they all
answered him and said: 'Let
us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations not to
abandon this plan but to do
this thing.' Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual
imprecations upon it. And
they were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of Jared on the summit
of Mount Hermon,
and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound themselves by
mutual imprecations
upon it.”

“And He answered and said to me, and I heard His voice: 'Fear not, Enoch, thou
righteous man and scribe
of righteousness: approach hither and hear my voice. And go, say to the Watchers
of heaven, who
have sent thee to intercede for them: "You should intercede" for men, and not
men for you: Wherefore
have ye left the high, holy, and eternal heaven, and lain with women, and
defiled yourselves with the
daughters of men and taken to yourselves wives, and done like the children of
earth, and begotten giants
(as your) sons? And though ye were holy, spiritual, living the eternal life, you
have defiled yourselves
with the blood of women, and have begotten (children) with the blood of flesh,
and, as the children
of men, have lusted after flesh and blood as those also do who die and perish.
Therefore have I given
them wives also that they might impregnate them, and beget children by them,
that thus nothing might
be wanting to them on earth. But you were formerly spiritual, living the eternal
life, and immortal for
all generations of the world. And therefore 2 I have not appointed wives for you;
for as for the spiritual
ones of the heaven, in heaven is their dwelling. And now, the giants, who are
produced from the spirits
and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, and on the earth shall
be their dwelling. Evil spirits
have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from men, and from the
holy Watchers is
their beginning and primal origin; they shall be evil spirits on earth, and evil
spirits shall they be called.
[As for the spirits of heaven, in heaven shall be their dwelling, but as for the
spirits of the earth which
were born upon the earth, on the earth shall be their dwelling.] 3 And the spirits of the giants afflict,
oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and work destruction on the earth, and
cause trouble: they take no
food, but nevertheless hunger and thirst, and cause offences. And these spirits
shall rise up against
the children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded from
them.”

“From the days of the slaughter and destruction and death of the giants, from
the souls of whose flesh
the spirits, having gone forth, shall destroy without incurring judgement--thus
shall they destroy until
the day of the consummation, 4 the great judgement
in which the age shall be consummated, over the
Watchers and the godless, yea, shall be wholly consummated." And now as to the
Watchers who have
sent thee to intercede for them, who had been aforetime in heaven, (say to
them): "You have been
in heaven, but all the mysteries had not yet been revealed to you, and you knew
worthless ones, and
these in the hardness of your hearts you have made known to the women, and
through these mysteries
women and men work much evil on earth." Say to them therefore: "You have no
peace."'”
(Book of Enoch. Chapters 6, 15, 16)

2"For in
the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like
angels of God in heaven." Matthew 22:30-31 (It says they neither
marry or are given in marriage, but these angels disobeyed God and their
function. Also, just because they weren't made to be married does not mean they
had no reproductive organs. The Bible does not say that. It just says they
weren't made to be married.)

3"When
an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest,
and finds none. Then he says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' And
when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and
takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and
dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first." Matthew 12:43-45

4"And
the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He
has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great
day; as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to
these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange
flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire."
Jude 6-7
